Flamboyant British fashion designer Alexander McQueen was found dead at his London home on Thursday after apparently committing suicide, the police and reports said.
Emergency services were called to the 40-year-old’s home in central London, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. A Scotland Yard spokesman said that the death was not being treated as suspicious. “We were called to an address at 10.20 am this morning by the ambulance service after reports of a man found dead,” the police spokesman told AFP. “He is believed to be 40 years old. Next of kin have been informed. “The death is being treated as non-suspicious.”
A spokeswoman for the designer, who rapidly built an international reputation for his outrageous fashion creations, said: “Mr McQueen was found dead this morning at his home. McQueen, a four-time winner of the British designer of the year award, was creative director of his own label, which was majority-owned by Gucci and was one of Britain’s most lauded fashion designers.
